Huawei supervisory board chair Guo Ping said Huawei, as controlling shareholder with capital links to many partners, views Yinwang as its vehicle for smart auto components and an extension of Huawei’s ICT business. He said Huawei has AI agents supported by a data flywheel—most visible in smartphones and intelligent driving—and that AI agents require such data systems. In telecoms the network owner is the operator and Huawei assists with network automation; in autos Huawei provides intelligent driving services directly via Yinwang and expects to continue shouldering leadership of Yinwang’s development for a considerable period.
